of love
as she stood there
ironing
and folding clothes,
the basket
with no bottom.
was she thinking of
boys she
knew in school.
of playgrounds
and Ferris
wheels,
the summer carnival.
did she whisper songs
as she moved
the iron about, pressing
down
onto shirts
and dresses, getting
wrinkles out?
i think she did.
